Hiring for tech jobs will pick up the only difference is we are going through a reset for compensation as compensation got out of line with other non tech jobs. I.e. look at the compensation of a software engineer vs the compensation of a civil engineer etc.

I would say the bigger driver is how investors are looking at companies now. If you are not a hypergrowth company, then profits and margins have a bigger impact on company valuations. Look at Amazon, AWS's margins decreased by 2 percentage points, which negatively impacted the stock when earnings were released.

I don't see the current situation lasting in perpetuity. I think a lot of companies got ahead of themselves and over hired. And there was also pressure put on by Wall Street, a lot of investment bank analysts wanted to hear that companies were reducing costs via layoffs. That led to a contagion of layoffs. At some point I think people will accept that things have been overdone and the pendulum will swing back to more a more normal and stable atmosphere.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?
